Gentlemen,
I was wondering if there were any ill effects if I were to run normal wire in the wall for the subwoofer channels. I was thinking of doubling up 12 gauge wiring for a total of 4 wires going to each outlet and then combining them for thickness (I was told that 2 12 gauge wires is close to 8 gauge wire). This will be for all 4 sub channels.
Also, for the home theater gurus, is a Dolby Atmos system really better than a 7.1 system? I am in the pre wiring building stage and was wondering if it would be worth replacing my amp and buying/installing the extra speakers.
The home theater surround system will not be used for music, there will be a dedicated 2 channel system installed in the same room for that purpose.
Another interesting problem is how to combine the LFE channel from the surround system and subs from the 2 channel system. The amp that will be used for the sub channels will be a Mackie FR3600 PA amplifier.
As always, any advice would be greatly appreciated
